Autocross > Rallycross
Here comes the next Autocross fugitive who will convert to the Rallycross creed. Helmut Wild from Germany, FIA European Autocross Champion 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2006, is joining the ERC with his Division 1 VW Polo T16 4x4 soon. Possibly already in Norway and Sweden.

I like his motorsport motto: "The runner-up is the first looser". Similar to: "Show me a happy runner-up and you show me a born looser". (Possibly Martin Schanche’s motto…) |

He should be quick, he was heading for a place in the finals at the Estering in 2006, with a car that was in Autocross spec, until a start line incident put him out.
